Hi Melvin,

Thanks for the explanation, it makes things easy to understand.

If a user has DELETE rights on a table, I don't see how granting him TRUNCATE 
makes that much of a difference? Same could be said of the other two, it's not 
like they are going to cause more damage than the previous rights.
